The results are in! And it looks like the prompts 'The Only Place We're Going is to the Pharmacy' and 'Sick in and Inconvenient Place' will appear on the official Sicktember 2023 prompt list! That gives you two prompts you can go ahead and start thinking about!
As for the unused prompts, those will be added to our 'Prompts for Future Use' document. So, if the one you were rooting for didn't win, it could still be used as a prompt in a furture Sicktember event. That being said, you are, of course, welcome to use whatever inspiration you'd like to use!
There are still 28 prompts and 5 alternates, for us to share with you! And we can't wait for the reveal!
See you in June!

THIS IS A YEAR OLD NOW BUT I FINALLY FINISHED IT!
I genuinely think wally would try to be friends with bendy, but bendy's not so trusting...and a lil rude.
#art graveyard#artist of tumblr#bendy and the ink machine#batim#bendy#bendy batim#bendy the dancing demon#welcome home#welcome home puppet show#welcome home arg#welcome home wally#wally darling#honestly bendys only hostile cause wally is so similar but still kind after everything hes going through...plus his friends are nice#lioe the similarities are wild to me#bendys a living cartoon character made in the 20s/30s in a studio that has some messed up things occuring behind closed doors#Wallys a sentient puppet from the 60s/70s thats on a forgotten from time kids puppet show that also had a studio where bad things happened#one has living ink that makes you sick and hallucinate the other has this mold goop that makes you sick and hallucinate#just two different mediums and color pallets#since bendys all in black and white mostly and wallys outfit alone could blind you#i say that lovingly#took a bit of inspiration from epic Mickey with bendys splatter affect and added his guidelines back and some sketch lines too#its cool to me

I think antis would have fun for once if they changed their way of thinking.
Instead of thinking:
"They're a child/minor/animal!"
"They're made of atoms!"
"They're made of flesh and blood!"
"This weirdo likes kids/animals!"
"[Character] is age!"
"People are only weird about them because they're drawn to THE NUMBER!"
Try thinking:
"It's an object".
"It's made of pixels".
"It's made of ones and zeros".
"This person likes this character. I don't know the reason but I'm glad they're enjoying themselves because the character they like doesn't reflect how they'll treat people".
"It's an arbitrary and unimportant number that can be whatever people want because characters don't feel time like people do. It's extra trivia about [character] like knowing their blood type. I can think it's weird that someone's attracted to their fridge but that doesn't harm anyone and it doesn't matter whether they've had that fridge for five years or 25 years".
"This person could like this character for any number of reasons; it's design, it's programmed personality, ect. but all I can tell from them liking a character is that they like that character".
#vent post#medium vent#proshipper#proshipper safe#proshippers are welcome#proshipping#proship#not exactly real arguments I've seen#but inspired by all the antis crying out “that's a child/animal!” as if these characters were real#what do they think people look like and are made out of?#no buddy/pal/chum that's not a living being that's a program/robot/binary code#people who are attracted to fictional characters are more like the people who are attracted to the Eiffel Tower imo#why this strange...fascination with a character's “age”?#they act like that's all there is to a character#or at least they think that's all there is to a character when you like it in a way they dislike#again characters are objects not people#please stop humanizing non-human things and dehumanizing humans

I realized I need to be more active here (again) 😭😭
On X I asked if people would be interested in doing weekly prompts with me, since I use one word prompts to warm up, and got a lot of positive responses
SOO TADDAAAA! last week I started ☀️🌻#LuNamiWeeklyPrompt 👒🍊
There is no minimum or maximum to do for these. It’s simply for fun and a way to help motivate/inspire creators to get their creative flow going! NSFW is allowed!
I update prompts every Friday but there’s no true time limit! Like I said, no stress, just fun! ✨🔥💕
I also started a small Community on X https://x.com/i/communities/1857445804610302109 as a way to bring people together in a space where I and others can help fans and creators flourish in the love we have for LuNami.
It’s private so I can decline bots or antis who wish to cause trouble. Also an Adult Space for NSFW content that is shared
Last week’s Prompt was 🔥Warm 🔥
And this week it’s ✨Laugh✨
I hope to see more and more for our content as a testament to our love and excitement for this ship and it’s characters 🤧💕😭
My creations for last week’s prompt! 🫶🏻🍊👒
#luffy#nami#lunami#luffy x nami#luna#prompt#creative writing#creative arts#inspiration#warm up#lunamiweeklyprompt#bringing more positive energy to our shipping community 💕#all mediums welcomed!

“Stop loving things because you are older now”
You mean after I finally got a job and skills to let me do really cool shit about the things I love?
Make me
#fandom olds#fandom#this idea that it is exclusively the domain of teens is wild to me thh#tbh#but then my first anime con i hung out in line with an 87yo lady who moved her kidney transplant back a week so she could come#kids are welcome in their places but i was always exquisitely aware of who makes the good fandom content#and it’s not people with less than 10 years experience in their chosen medium regardless of age#i was a godawful writer all my teens#that’s how i got this good#i never stopped

an uncle nina check in <3
hi team! thanks for sticking around! i know my blog isn't always the most exciting and enriching place in the world in terms of content, but i am very /content/ to have you all here. <3333
i promise, oddly enough, i have A TON of inspiration and ideas for all my weird styles ( if you're curious about anything please lmk! i've been trying to flesh out my aus out lately ), i've just been in a major bummer depression era lately, so it's hard for me to get my asks done and i'm having a hard time committing to finishing my writing. :<
i think it's because of stress and my bipolar, but i am trying to get back on the horse! ( are we all laughing at the idea of me trying to get on a horse? i'd start crying help city girl fail moment for me ) yeehaw!
and while, unfortunately due to the instability ( fabulous legendary iconery ) of my pretty girl popstar personality, i do not know whether i will be answering almost no questions or one million, regardless of that, i just wanted to let you know, i'm still here, still kicking my feet, twirling my hair, cooking...i'm just really trying not to force myself to put out anything i don't like...and only do what makes me truly happy.
however, nothing, my dear sweet e-darlings...
makes me happier than coming home to all of you. <333
so thank you for flooding even the darkest corners of my life with bright light, supporting my phantom fics and being wonderful,
uncle nina xx

i think something moonage daydream was really good at doing was capturing a vibe
#sir.txt#the thing it was second best at was painting a picture... that movie is a watercolor rendition of a galaxy to me#i feel like the linear progression of bowie's life in the movie never being marked by any specific dates not even years... it gives it that#not cut and dry feeling. none of these events exist solely in one day of one year they are something that will span longer than ourselves#one day- a couple of hours- stretched into infinity simply by the fact that they were not confined within a date#i think that's something worthy of bowie. to be immortalized not through the medium itself but by how the medium refuses to cage him within#any set parameters that would be too extreme and unsatisfying for him would he be there to choose#instead letting him trespass all those barriers and just be and transcend#my boyfriend says the film is like bowies superstar cosmic journal well i say the film is like bowies watercolor rendition of a galaxy in#formation- and all the stars are still forming and the watercolor still hasn't dried as another layer is added so shades melt within-into-#each other#like how bowie refused to keep himself caged within one style one look one identity he surpassed all of those boundaries and transformed#into something else... it is only fair that the film capture it in a similar way... all of the flashy colors and editing is just a#projection of bowies spirit itself in all its vibrancy and extravagance without being supercilious#this movie was touching but also fun for the sake of fun and eccentric for the sake of eccentricity. it's a must watch for whoever loves#bowie at his most raw and unrestrained and undefined... i felt like falling through the screen to bw held by him at several moments#BECAUSE that's what the movie is it's the galaxy wrapping its arms around the unknowing astronaut#and welcoming them into itself because nobody in this reality is actually an outsider of life- nobody passively observes the universe-#that's something that i found very moving in the film was how bowie surpassed that feeling of all-encompassing loneliness that was#what propeled him to create art... and found acceptance and loving and understood he wasn't alien to all of it.#it's very moving again like i said. but specially movingfor someone like me who struggles so hard not to simply idly observe things and let#life reject me. I can't keep letting these things write themselves into existence over and over and maybe just maybe#that film helped me snap back into a higher sense of lucidity where i realise i have to take control of my life#but like. anyway.#bowies life is very mythologised but in part it is very much a self constructed myth which he himself took the time to skillfully architect#and its such that myth ceases to be only in suspension and untangible: bowie being extraterrestrial.#he.... he integrates so much into the planet he does become an energy traversing through earth. he becomes life itself but in the least self#important way this sentiment could be expressed.#there will never be another bowie- as there will never be another dylan or reed or lennon. there will never be circumstances which will come#but to quote the movie. his life hasnt ended. only changed. thats beautiful. anyways my tags are up

the baldur's gate boys want me so bad
#everyone except astarion. working on that one though#officially have kissing option for wyll. i refuse to make it a Relationship though i don't wanna close off my options like that#so everytime i go through the 'i wanna talk about us' option i just select 'what am i to you'#and get the whole 'you are the stars in my sky' speech and then i say okay thank you wyll! goodbye!#was too nice to gale. i have no reason to be Nasty to the guy but i do not care about him at all and don't care if he dies#caught off guard by him inviting me out under the stars and then asking if i could stay with him while he thinks about his impending doom#lmao! no! see you later man!#halsin keeps veering into romantic statements every time i talk to him too#'thank you for everything you've done. whatever you need of me is yours. i'm yours.' okay cool ur welcome i have to go adventure now 👍#i WILL win astarion over. got his approval up to medium so i am NOT failing at it and i WILL get to kiss him. i am certain of this#valentine notes#bg3

How very rude those party pooper are. I would fight them for you
honestly you should 🥲 i don't get paid enough to deal with people feeling so entitled to my work. like if you want to read a fanfic that is tailored exactly for you, then you should write it that fanfic! no one is stopping you.
#I don’t get paid for this at all so I’m going to make and write the stories that I want to read even if they are not what you deem correct.#There are plenty of other stories out there that fit perfectly into what you’re looking for#So just leave me alone#Bily is based HEAVILY off my experiences and me as a person#there is no m/c without me at this point#I’m not going to sanatize her and take parts of me out of her because you want to imagine yourself in her shoes better.#I’m not going to make her more consumable for you because her thoughts are my thoughts and her struggles are my struggles.#There has to be a medium that exists where I can create what I want to create as a writer and create things that comfort me without#Other people feeling attacked#I’m not trying to hurt anyone and that’s never my intention but#Don’t I deserve to feel comforted by my work too? Don’t I deserve to feel seen? I want to write what I will enjoy reading#I wouldn’t go into someones house and tell them how to cook their food#You are always welcome at my table.#But if you don’t like what I make you are under no obligation to eat my food and consume what I write.

(Asking for a friend) Could the prompts be used in artwork, rather than writing?
Absolutely! All mediums are welcome.

I want to say I love your art, you’re one of my favorite mutuals and it makes me happy when you interact with my posts! Your work has been hugely inspiring to me. My household will probably be getting some kind of VR device soon and I look forward to learning how to create VR art myself. I’m also eager to see your VR art “in person” - is there a way for people to download your Tilt Brush pieces? Thanks! 🩵
AWWWW this is so sweet, thank you!!! me and my bf both like your blog ahaha
the easiest way to view my VR art is to get a Quest headset (Quest 2 is cheapest, but Quest 3 is coming out in the fall with a $500 price tag and is, imo, better than the Quest Pro) and to download Figmin XR on it.
with Figmin I can just send you direct URLs to my stuff and you can import it directly to your headset via figmin.com :)))
for Tilt Brush art specifically it's a little harder, because I have to actually send you the .tilt files and then you've gotta manually drop them in specific folders... and the process is different depending on which headset you end up getting.
I should add a page to my website that acts as a downloadable VR art gallery, now that I think about it 🤔
#but yeah i'm excited for you!!#i've slowly been organizing a regular vr-art hangout in multiplayer figmin#and you'd be more than welcome to join :D#the last livestream i did was fun because it was me and the main developer there#just all hanging out and teaching the three people i had with me how to do various things#everyone on the figmin team tries to work closely with helping as many artists as we can#since this is a brand-new medium and there really aren't many people teaching it#auropost

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
-----
Edit 1: took the first video down because turns out the animator is a terf and it links to her blog. Really sorry for any distress.
Edit 2: All recommended readings + Haymarket recommendations + essential decolonization texts have been uploaded to my linked gdrive. I will adding more periodically. Please do buy or check them out from the library if possible, but this post was made for and by poor and gatekept Global South bitches like me.
Some have complained about the memes being disrespectful. You're actually legally obligated to make fun of Israeli propaganda and Zionists. I don't make the rules.
Edit 3: "The river to the sea" does not mean the expulsion of Jews from Palestine. Believing that is genocide apologia.
Edit 4: Gazans have specifically asked us to put every effort into pushing for a ceasefire instead of donations. "Raising humanitarian aid" is a grift Western governments are pushing right now to deflect from the fact that they're sending billions to Israel to keep carpet bombing Gazans. As long as the blockades are still in place there will never be enough aid for two million people. (UPDATE: PLEASE DONATE to the Gazan's GoFundMe fundraisers to help them buy food and get out of Rafah into Egypt. E-SIMs, food and medical supplies are also essential. Please donate to the orgs linked in the How You Can Help. Go on the strikes. DO NOT STOP PROTESTING.)
Edit 5: Google drive link for academic books folder has been fixed. Also have added a ton of resources to all the other folders so please check them out.
Edit 6: Added interactive maps, Jadaliya channel, and masterlists of donation links and protest support and of factsheets.
The twitter accounts I reposted as it was given to me and I just now realized it had too many Israeli voices and almost none of the Palestinians I'm following, so it's being edited. (Update: done!) also removed sources like Jewish Voices of Peace and Breaking the Silence that do good work but have come under fair criticism from Palestinians.
Edit 7: Complete reformatting
Edit 8: Complete revamping of the social media section. It now reflects my own following list.
Edit 9: removed some more problematic people from the allies list. Remember that the 2SS is a grift that's used to normalize violence and occupation, kids. Supporting the one-state solution is lowest possible bar for allyship. It's "Free Palestine" not "Free half of Palestine and hope Israel doesn't go right back to killing them".
Edit 10: added The Palestine Directory + Al Jazeera documentary + Addameer. This "100 links per post" thing sucks.
Edit 11: more documentaries and films
Edit 12: reformatted reading list
Edit 13: had to remove @palipunk's masterlist to add another podcast. It's their pinned post and has more resources Palestinian culture and crafts if you want to check it out
Edit 14 6th May '24: I've stopped updating this masterlist so some things, like journalists still left in Gaza and how to support the student protests are missing. I've had to take a step back and am no longer able to track these things down on my own, and I've hit the '100 links per post' limit, but if you can leave suggestions for updates along with links in either the replies or my asks I will try and add them.
Edit 15 10th August: added to Palestinian allies list and reworked the Help for Palestine section. There's been a racist harrassment campaign against the Palestinian Tumblrs that vetted the Gaza fundraisers based off one mistake made by a Gazan who doesn't understand English. If you're an ally, shut that shit down. Even if you donate to a scam GFM, you're only out some coffee money; if everyone stops donating to all the GFMs in fear of scams, those families die.

Opening Art Trades
What it reads, as I figure it's a good way to gain an audience and it's generally good drawing practice. But, there are rules:
Nothing Inappropriate: I am not drawing porn, anything that promotes hatred toward an individual/group... Generally, if it's not what you'd look at during work, nor what you'd want done to you nor others like yourself, then you probably shouldn't request it.
I accept them when I want to, and I finish them when I can. Don't start barking at me: "When are you gonna be done?" or "Are you gonna trade with me or not??" I still have personal projects I wanna work on and I don't wanna get "burn out" that results in rushed trading work.
I don't have a "skill/quality" requirement nor do I require a specific medium. Just create Claire as best you can and in whatever media, I'm just grateful to have people know of my mascot's existence and thus mine-- and that if they liked the character enough, they'll likely come see the creator and her works.
I always use a digital, colored medium of artwork. If you want your item to be painted or pencil-sketched, sorry, you'll probably have to find someone else. I also draw in my style, so keep that in mind.
"You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit." If you're rude about the results, then it gets completely wiped from the face of the earth. I don't care if you remove your piece of Claire, I decided to go ahead with what you wanted to see made and you will not spit in the face of my generosity-- especially when I'm willing to accept a literal stick figure of Claire. In other words: I'm not playing the "Effort/Quality Police" and I am putting effort into it, so I don't wanna hear any moaning about something not being "good enough" on my end. You want the highest of quality? Go commission someone with better skills or try to convince them to trade.
Anyhow, here's Claire herself:
